THE GROW EMENTE.

General Armstro. - he Responsible
ty ofthe Present \nsubIes Largely on the
Shoulders OF Sittifg Bull scautionary
Measures sugge5ted
ST. PAUL, Minn.,s Nov. Is. General +. G.
Armstrong, Indian Saspector, who has
been located on the Crow fcrns11 1ioa ee-As9
the trouble began which eliminated in the
death of Sword Bearer, arrived In ST. Paul
yesterday. General Armstrong gave
detailed account of the causes that led to
the recent disturbances on the Crow
reservation, which, he said, have been
brewing for the past two years. The
most Of the mischief was done last spring.
when Sitting Bull, with a party OF
Sioux warriors numbering about one hum
dred, came to the Grow reservation and
pitched his camp within almost stones
throw of the Custer monument and began
to harrangue the Crows. He made a
strong impression on the young men OF
the latter tribe, especially when he began
to recount his exploits in his contests
with the whites. Another weak point
that he played upon with great stress was
the fact that the Crows did not receive the
same consideration at the hands of the
Government that his warriors did. After
the fight in which Sword-Bea was
killed and other recalcitrants captured,
Grey Eagle, one OF the leading men OF the
Grow tribe, said that Crazy Head and
Deaf Bull should be made an example of,
for as long as they were in the tribe there
would be trouble, and subsequent investi-
cation proved this to be true. Conse-
quentiy, in his report to the
Secretary Of the Interior, Gem
General Armstrong has recommend
ed that Crazy Head and Deaf Bull
be sent to some safe place, probably Fort
Pickens, Fla, where Geronimo is at pres
ent, or be separated and sent to different
places. At any rate, they should be taken
out Of the company Of the young braves
that they are now only contaminat-
ing by their talk and influence. As
for the other Sioux Indians, he
thinks il will be advisable TO put
them at some place where they can be
taught trades and kept away from their
tribes for several years at least.
General Armstrong does not anticipate
any furtE-f ar 3Sh'e on the Crow rsear-Tr-
tion, now that the disturbing el--sdrnsss-
been removed.
